Boge or Sachs Rear shocks?

[P4XLL]

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these OEM shocks and which would be the better one to go for?
I can get Boge for £50 each, or Sachs for £56.

Thanks

Sachs were fitted from factory i think.

Bilstein B4's are another option too

Need a pair this weekend, so I can fit for an MOT on Monday.
Can only get Sachs or Boge locally.

Thanks

Get Sachs (=OEM)

Although Boge and Sachs are both from the same company (it's all ZF), Boge is in my book a 'cheap brand'.

Just like Febi and SWAG. Both bilstein group.


Chances are you get the same product......or not. :roll:

since putting new discs and pads on mine from JE i get LOADS more dust which is annoying, i just assumed it was down to the drilled/grooved discs, would either of these suggestions cut the dust down or is it just an effect of the dics no matter what brand you use?

(sorry to hi-jack OP)

Yea its the pads, put either of those too on your zed and you will notice a huge difference, it will also make cleaning the little dust they do let off easier too.
